'''Leech Life''' (Japanese: '''きゅうけつ''' ''Suck Blood'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Bug}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].
'''Leech Life''' (Japanese: '''きゅうけつ''' ''Suck Blood'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Bug}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].
It is:
* [[TM28]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}} and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.
* [[TR18]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
* [[TM095]] in [[Generation IX]].


==Effect==
==Effect==
===Generation I-II===
===Generations I and II===
Leech Life inflicts damage, and up to 50% of the damage dealt to the target is restored to the user as {{stat|HP}}. If this attack deals 1 HP of damage, 1 HP will be restored to the user.
Leech Life inflicts damage, and up to 50% of the damage dealt to the target is restored to the user as [[HP]] (but not less than 1 HP), restoring up to the Pokémon's maximum HP.


If Leech Life breaks a {{m|substitute}}, no HP will be restored to the user. If HP is restored to the user when its current HP is greater than its maximum HP, its current HP will be set equal to its maximum HP.
In the localized versions of the Generation I games, if Leech Life breaks a {{m|substitute}}, no HP will be restored to the user. In the Japanese version of [[Generation I]] games, and all versions of the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] and [[Generation II]] games, Leech Life will always miss if the target has a substitute.


In Stadium, Leech Life will always miss if the target has a substitute.
===Generations III and IV===
Leech Life will now properly heal the user when damaging a substitute, even if it was broken. If the target has the [[Ability]] {{a|Liquid Ooze}}, the user takes damage instead of restoring HP.


===Generation III===
If the user is holding a [[Big Root]], the HP restored is increased by 30% (making the restored HP 65% of the damage dealt). Big Root does not increase the damage dealt.
If the target has the [[Ability]] {{a|Liquid Ooze}}, the user takes damage instead of restoring HP.
 
Leech Life is no longer affected by [[King's Rock]].
 
===Generation V===
Leech Life is now affected by King's Rock.
 
===Generation VI===
Leech Life cannot be used if the user is under the effects of {{m|Heal Block}}.
 
===Generation VII onwards===
Leech Life's power was increased from 20 to 80 and its PP was reduced from 15 to 10. With this change, {{m|Absorb}} replaced Leech Life on most Pokémon's level up moves.
 
===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Leech Life deals damage and up to 50% of the damage dealt to the target is restored to the user as HP, including excess damage. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] only, the move heals by 20% of dealt damage instead. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]] only, the user will heal based on how much HP the target lost, and excess damage is not accounted for.
 
This move is affected by the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Muzzled}} status condition.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Along with {{m|Barrage}}, {{m|Struggle}}, and {{m|Kinesis}}, Leech Life is one of four moves originating from Generation I that has not been featured in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* {{p|Shedinja}} is the only Pokémon that will never recover HP with Leech Life.
* Leech Life is the only {{type|Bug}} {{cat|HP-draining moves|HP-draining move}}.
* Leech Life is the only {{type|Bug}} {{cat|HP-draining moves|HP-draining move}}.
* The power of Leech Life was quadrupled in [[Generation VII]], this marks the largest increase for the power of a move in percentage over a single Generation, and ties with {{m|Fury Cutter}} if multiple increases are considered.
** This is also the greatest increase to a move in terms of power since {{m|Self-Destruct}} and {{m|Explosion}} in [[Generation II]].
** However, the change also includes a removal from the level-up learnsets of many Pokémon which could learn Leech Life early on in previous generations, with {{m|Absorb}} taking its place instead.
